My C apparently jumped timing. I lost throttle control. I adjusted the timing at the distributor to no avail. The tractor runs wide open.

I have removed and replaced the governor; is the any way the tractor is simply mistimed or are there other issues I should be looking at?

This may or may not be your problem: I have seen the small screws holding the butterfly in the carburetor come loose and cause the issue you describe.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

the cam shaft is gear driven to the crank shaft. The engine can not " loose timeing"... the governor has nothing to do with the timing.. all it does it control throttle max speed.

The CARBURETOR should be able to set the engine at idle or minimal speed with the throttle lever.. If the GOVERNOR is pulling the carburetor arm wide open , then you have a governor problem.. If the carburetor arm is at idle and you are running wide open , follow Pauls suggestion on the carb butterfly.

to check adjustment of the governor to carb... look at these photos and follow directions.
